Jimbo Fisher FSU Head Coach

"Knew where he was going, made a couple of mistakes, made a couple poor throws. But his decision making was good. It's timing with some of those guys, couple routes didn't come out right. He let a ball fly, or two. But the first day didn't come out too bad, but his demeanor, really made some nice throws, made some nice in-seam throws, threw the ball well down the side and I like how he did that."

The Seminoles took today off, they're back at it tomorrow in shorts and helmets. Thursday's the first day of full pads. They'll continue working out off and on until the Spring Game April 16th.
